When the mastodons escape, Jame needs another exhibit for the Museum. Luckily, he has a friend with wonderful bones. The Curator is delighted with her new specimen, but she can't help wondering: Who, or what, is behind the mysterious exodus of flora and fauna? An elegiac and absurd look at the intersections of memory and desire, set to the tune of a music box.
Content Notes: Adult language and content
Set: None."An ironic-absurdist meditation on untenable sentiments and immortal longing...Harrison's work is vibrant and fresh."
"An inventively literal elaboration of Yeats' "rag-and-bone shop of the heart"... The Museum Play is full of ideas..."
"Harrison shows a cool and heady talent for provoking our consideration of the real world and the curated world..."
"Written by ridiculously talented young playwright Jordan Harrison..."
